all of the following are true of executive agreements, except that they:

Question

a. are equivalent to treaties
b. are made between the president and the foreign power
c. have the force of law
d. requires senate approval within 60 days

Answer 1

The statement that is not true of executive agreements is:

d. requires senate approval within 60 days

Executive agreements do not require Senate approval; they can be made by the president alone and have the force of law. In contrast, treaties require a two-thirds majority approval from the Senate. The 60-day timeframe typically refers to the War Powers Resolution, which applies to military action, not to executive agreements.
